Unreal Tournament Latest News

Epic has released a new update for its upcoming, community-developed Unreal Tournament reboot, this time letting players explore Outpost 23, the game's first fully-textured map.

The collaborative project has been opened up in the last few weeks by the announcement that the Unreal Engine 4 tools are now freely available for everyone. Well, as long as you pay Epic a 5% cut of all your sales, that is.

Michiel van den Bos and Alexander Brandon, the two composers who created the soundtrack to the original Unreal Tournament, have indicated their wish to be a part of the crowdsourced reboot of the franchise.

Posting on the official forums, van den Bos asked if there was any interest from the development team in having them back, and project lead Steven Polge was quick to answer in the affirmative.

Obviously someone is holding Epic Games' loved ones hostage because we're getting a game totally free, with no micro-transaction strings attached. The new Unreal Tournament won't cost us a single penny.

Development began on the Unreal Engine 4 shooter the moment they announced, and Epic want to actively have the community help develop it, as in actually make it with them.
